How Carrie Uses Practical Therapies Online

Carrie commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing into her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and helps people try different actions to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring readiness to change and building a person’s own motivation for making shifts in behavior.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to keep sessions directed at actionable goals. That approach emphasizes small steps and measurable changes to help people see progress quickly. Together these methods aim to produce clear tasks and simple experiments people can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as you learn what helps and what doesn’t.
